He has been active in the computer network community since 1979, participated in the building and growth of USENET from its earliest days -- including being one of the first to set up an international link -- and in 1987 he founded and edited a special edited USENET conference devoted to comedy.

He is also the author of a dozen packaged microcomputer software products, including VisiPlot for the IBM-PC, the compressor in Stuffit -- the world's most widely used Macintosh application, various games, popular tools and utilities for Commodore computers, special Pascal and Basic programming environments (ALICE) designed for education, an add-in spreadsheet compiler (3-2-1 Blastoff) for Lotus 1-2-3 (picked by PC World as one of the top software products of 1987) and various network related software tools.
